It is sad news but there is fuck all to do about it!Really i haven't listened to a Priest album in ages,except Defenders maybe a year ago and a bootleg of Long Beach 84 in feb!I love Priest and they introduced me to metal,but i have moved onto other metal(Black Metal) and get my metal hunger feed there and feed very well!

After 25 + years listenin to Priest they don't really do anything for me anymore!To be honest Priest have been lying in "Palliative Care" since 2006 after the AOR tour on life support!For a while to me anyways,things just seemed fucked!

December was the big news of farewell tour,still,had a gut feelin,and now today KK retiring!Like i said,i haven't listen much to Priest in over a year or more!I think i jsut got tired of the games too,just play some fuckin music!

I bought the 30th anniversary British Steel cd/dvd,watched one or 2 songs,turned it off cause it was like watchin an old dog trying to hop on the couch all full of arthritis!Sad,very sad!

Anyways,now that KK is gone,my fav guitarist and the person responsible for me playing guitar,i won't be bothered with seein them on this tour!

So,i guess me discovering black metal last summer was my ESP in my brain pointing me into a new metal direction cause the end was near for the Priest!The end of an era,it has been a great ride but,all things must come to and end!

Well folks with that:

ROCK HARD RIDE FREE!

The Metallian!

Master of all fucking music!

i hate to see the metal gods are retiring. i want to say thank you & iron maiden very much for saving heavy metal & destroying disco. i'm glad that i've had the pleasure to meet the band on the turbo tour.
